Denver Slip-and-Fall Attorneys

Representation for Victims of Careless Property Owners

A slip-and-fall can be embarrassing; don’t assume you’re to blame. Serious injuries often occur due to trips, slips, and falls, and they are not the result of you being clumsy - they are often caused by dangerous conditions allowed by a property owner. What might seem like an "accidental" trip on the stairs could actually be due to poor lighting or a broken tread.

Property owners who do not demonstrate a duty of care toward the safety of others should be held accountable for any injuries their negligence causes. If you or a loved one has been injured in a slip-and-fall and have questions about your legal options, call the top Denver premises liability lawyers at Leventhal & Puga, P.C. We offer a no-cost consultation to discuss your situation, and if we take your case, you don’t owe us anything until we get you fair compensation for your injuries, any permanent disabilities, pain and suffering, and more.

Causes of Slip-and-Falls

Even if you initially think that a fall was your own fault, it can be helpful to discuss what happened with an experienced premises liability attorney to make sure. We can pull building records, blueprints, past inspections, and more. Falls can be caused by a number of factors, including:

Poor lighting

Failure to remove ice or snow

Cracks and breaks in walkways

Uneven walkways

Improperly built stairs

Improperly maintained stairs

Objects on ground creating a tripping hazard

Uncontrolled pets

Injuries Resulting from Slip-and-Falls

In real life, slip-and-falls can cause serious, even fatal, injuries. They are not something that should be uncomfortably laughed off. Falling down a flight of stairs, for example, is extremely dangerous since a person's head can strike the edge of the steps, perhaps causing intracranial hemorrhage and lifelong brain damage.

Common injuries that we see from slips, trips, and falls in Colorado include:

Bruises and lacerations

Broken bones

Soft tissue damage

Shoulder and neck injuries

Internal injuries

Spinal cord injuries

Traumatic brain injuries
